The official caption:
The back of a Paraguayan protester bears testimony to the damage that a rubber bullet can do. The protester, a proponent of Gen. Lino Cesar Oviedo, was shot south of Asuncion while calling for the resignation of President Luis Gonzalez Macchi.
I don't understand why rubber bullets are ever an acceptable idea in the first place. It seems to me that it just encourages the wrong approach amongst the police - approaches that don't work and are obviously dangerous. Isn't rule one of firearm safety, don't point at anything you don't intend to completely destroy? Why should that change because *some* of the loads are supposed to be non-lethal? Is there something I'm missing?
